Hey, dreamy little Chellama,
open your little eyes just a bit.
Hey, chubby little Chellama,
tie on a pair of wings and fly.
The dream you saw yesterday,
the dream that came true,
a dream wide like the sky,
expanding wider and wider...
Hey, dreamy little Chellama,
open your little eyes just a bit.
Hey, chubby little Chellama,
tie on a pair of wings and fly.
Just for you,
the world is opening up, little beauty.
And just for that,
wings are sprouting, little beauty.
{The dream you saw yesterday,
the dream that came true,
a dream wide like the sky,
expanding wider and wider...} (2)
Talk to your dream,
close your eyes and talk,
keep your lips closed and talk,
no matter what anyone says, ignore them and talk.
Dance with your dream,
hold hands with it and dance,
dance all day long,
even if your earth stops spinning, don't you stop!
Hey Chellama,
hey Chellama,
take your dream,
and make it your friend.
Hey Chellama,
hey Chellama,
along with the wind,
change your path.
{The dream you saw yesterday,
the dream that came true,
a dream wide like the sky,
expanding wider and wider...} (2)
Hey, dreamy little Chellama,
open your little eyes just a bit.
Hey, chubby little Chellama,
tie on a pair of wings and fly.
{Naana naana naana
Naana naana naana
Naana naana naana} (2)

Naana naana naana
Naana naana naana} (2)
